Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to brush seals.
- the present invention relates to a brush seal assembly utilizing threaded members.
- Brush seals are commonly used in gas turbine engines and other assemblies to restrict the escape of fluid (i.e. air) through a gap between a stationary part and a rotating part.
- the stationary part may be a diffuser case and the rotating part may be a turbine shaft.
- Brush seals may also be used to seal gaps between two stationary parts or two rotating parts of a gas turbine engine. In either case, minimization of leakage is important in maintaining the efficiency of the system and to reduce fuel consumption.
- a brush seal generally includes packs of wire bristles that are sandwiched between two plates. It is common practice to weld the bristles and plates together. The brush seal must then undergo heat treatment after welding to relieve any residual stresses. Heat treatment typically involves securing the brush seal within a fixture and placing the fixture in an oven. The heat treatment is a time consuming and expensive process.
- the bristles of the brush seal eventually wear and need to be replaced over time. For example, replacement may be scheduled after a given number of hours or cycles of operation.
- replacement may be scheduled after a given number of hours or cycles of operation.
- conventional brush seals are welded assemblies, removal of the brush seal can be difficult.
- individual components of the brush seal are welded together, individual components such as wire bristles cannot easily be replaced.
- replacement of the entire brush seal must occur at significant costs in regards to material labor and down time, even though only one of the subassemblies needs replacement.
- a current method used that allows replacement of individual components of the brush seal is to manufacture the brush seals in subassemblies without plate welding. These brush seals combine the bristles together and sandwich the bristle packs between the plates using clips or fasteners. While these methods are effective, they also require additional machining under relatively close tolerances, thus increasing the overall cost of production.
- a brush seal assembly includes a plurality of bristles, a joint, and a retaining assembly.
- Each of the bristles has a first end and a second end.
- the joint has a first side and a second side and connects the first ends of the bristles.
- the retaining assembly sandwiches the joint and includes a side plate, a back plate, and a threaded connection.
- the side plate engages the first side of the joint and the back plate engages the second side of the joint.
- the threaded connection holds the side plate and the back plate in engagement with the joint.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective, cross-sectional view of a representative brush seal assembly 10.
- Brush seal assembly 10 generally includes bristle assembly 12, side plate 14, and back plate 16. Adjustable pin spanners 18a and 18b (shown in FIG. 3 ) tighten side plate 14 to back plate 16, sandwiching bristle assembly 12 therebetween.
- Bristle assembly 12 has a first side 19 and a second side 20 and is formed of a plurality of densely arranged wire bristles 21.
- bristle assembly 12 is depicted in FIG. 1 as having a full ring shape, bristle assembly 12 may have other shapes without departing from the intended scope of the present invention.
- bristle assembly 12 may have an arcuate, segmented arcuate or linear shape.
- Each of wire bristles 21 has a first end 22 and a second end 24.
- First ends 22 of wire bristles 21 reside at an outer diameter of bristle assembly 12 and are secured together by joint 25, such as a weld, and are generally connected to joint 25 such that wire bristles 21 are angled to a radial line.
- Joint 25 has a first side 26 in line with first side 19 of bristle assembly 12 and a second side 27 in line with second side 20 of bristle assembly 12.
- Second ends 24 of wire bristles 21 extend away from joint 25 and reside at an inner diameter of bristle assembly 12.
- Wire bristles 21 are made of a strong, flexible material.
- wire bristles 21 may be made of an approximately 0.002 inch (0.05 mm) diameter to an approximately 0.006 inch (0.15 mm) diameter cobalt alloy wire.
- first ends of wire bristles 20 are connected to joint 25 such that they are angled at approximately 45 degrees from a radial line.
